Enough for Today - I Don't Know about Tomorrow - 3.30.26

Life. Food. Drink. Clothes. Jesus tells us not to worry about all of these because God the Father is our provision. And when we skip down a few verses, after He's gone through the whole discourse about birds, and flowers and grass, He tells us something else to not worry about. Matthew 6:34 NIV Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Tomorrow. We don't know anything about it. We don't even know if it will come. And yet, we lie in bed at night and worry about scenarios that may never occur. And probably won't occur. Jesus says, "ya'll got all ya'll can handle today — don't borrow tomorrow's troubles that you don't even know about!" This session, Jesus tells us a story about a man and He describes him in two ways: rich and a fool. Grab and seat for storytime with Jesus. Study Guide available at GRJBMinistries.com

Enough for Today - Wear - 3.16.26

In this episode, we dive into Matthew 6:25–33 and confront a struggle for many, if not all, of us—worry over appearance, possessions, and how we're perceived. King Solomon lived in extravagant wealth with a stellar reputation but when measured alongside the simple beauty of God's wildflowers, Jesus tells us even the greatest human splendor cannot compare to what God Himself creates and values. Solomon had it all — wisdom, wealth, and influence—yet his story reveals that obedience, not abundance, is what truly honors God. We've all felt the pressure to measure up, look a certain way, or keep it all together—this conversation with Mom & Me lovingly redirects your heart back to what is eternal, sufficient, and already enough in Christ.

Enough for Today - Drink - 3.2.26

In Lesson 4 of the Enough for Today Bible study series, we explore what Jesus meant when He said, "Do not worry about your life… what you will drink." (Matthew 6:25). Throughout Scripture, water represents life, provision, and God's sustaining presence. In this session, we examine the moment in Exodus 17 when the Israelites arrive at Rephidim—exhausted, thirsty, and convinced God has abandoned them. Instead of trusting Him, they quarrel, complain, and even put God "on trial." Yet in remarkable grace, God responds by providing water from an unlikely place: a rock. This study unpacks several powerful themes: * How wilderness seasons reveal both our hearts and God's faithfulness * Why God sometimes leads us to places that appear to lack provision * The importance of crying out to the Lord first when facing difficult situations * How God often provides in unexpected and illogical ways * The danger of unbelief and hardened hearts, as warned in Hebrews 3 Most importantly, the rock struck in the wilderness points forward to Jesus Christ—the Rock of our salvation—through whom living water flows. Just as water sustained Israel in the desert, Christ offers the living water that satisfies our deepest thirst and gives eternal life. If you've ever wondered where God is in a dry season of life, this lesson offers a clear reminder: God is present, God is faithful, and He is always enough for today. Key Scriptures: Matthew 6:25–26 | Exodus 17 | John 4:13–14 | John 7:37–38 | Hebrews 3 Subscribe for the rest of the Enough for Today series as we continue learning how to trust God daily for His provision, His presence, and His peace.

Manna Mania: Daily Divine Desserts

In this relaxed podcast episode, we start with a little Winter Olympics talk, then we catch you up on our Bible study series, "Enough for Today," based on Matthew 6:25 and the five things Jesus tells us not to worry about. We recap our third session on "what you will eat" by walking through Exodus 16 and God providing manna for the Israelites. We talk about their grumbling, how they twisted their memories of Egypt, and how God's provision wasn't transactional—He was always going to care for them. We discuss God's "testing" as a way to build trust, share an example about asking for guidance, and note biases in how we read the story. We emphasize the miracle of "just enough," not hoarding provision, sharing what God gives, and remembering His patience and grace, then we announce our next live Bible study March 2 at 7:00 PM.

Enough for Today - Eat - 2.16.26

We went live from Bullard, Texas and I recapped our weekend at First Baptist Church Tyler, where we visited ahead of the Ladies Conference on April 17–18 (Callie will sing and I'm teaching Psalm 23, "He Restores My Soul"). I also shared how we celebrated Callie's birthday with bakery stops and family dinners, and I reminded everyone about our Deep in the Heart Ministries men's conference in Tyler on Feb. 28. I taught from Exodus 16 about Israel grumbling in the wilderness and God providing quail and manna with daily instructions. I emphasized that God doesn't lead us out of bondage to let us starve, that testing develops faith, that rebellious hearts ignore simple instructions, that God's provisions aren't to be hoarded (including spiritually), that we're responsible to use what God provides, and that God's patience is unmatched. I connected the manna story to depending on God's Word daily (Deuteronomy 8). We'll be back in two weeks on March 2!
